BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a cosmetic container, and more particularly to a cosmetic container that has a brushing device for applying a perfume on the skin of a user.

2. Description of Related Art

People spray different perfumes according to different occasions or different moods. A conventional cosmetic container is applied to contain a perfume and has a body, a spray device, and a cap. The body has an outer surface, a chamber, and an opening. The chamber is formed in the body. The opening is formed on the outer surface of the body and communicates with the chamber. The spray device is disposed on the body, covers the opening of the body, and has a seat, a spray head, and a tube. The seat is disposed on the body. The spray head is disposed on the seat, can move upwardly and downwardly relative to the seat, and has an outer surface and a spray opening formed on the outer surface of the spray head. The tube is disposed on the seat and communicates with the chamber and the spray opening. The cap is disposed on the body and covers the spray device.

The perfume can be filled in the chamber of the body. In use, the cap is detached from the body. The spray head is pressed for withdrawing the perfume by the tube. The perfume is nebulized out of the spray opening.

However, the spray range of the perfume in a spraying form is large. In use, only part of the perfume in the spraying form is actually sprayed on the skin of a user, and the remaining is sprayed into the air. The conventional cosmetic container sprays the perfume in the spraying form. The perfume in the spraying form cannot be completely sprayed on the skin of the user and is wasted.

To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention tends to provide a cosmetic container to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective of the invention is to provide a cosmetic container that can solve the problems of the conventional cosmetic container.

The cosmetic container has a shell, a pressing member, a containing device, a joining sleeve, a brushing device, a positioning sleeve, and a cap. The shell has a top surface, a bottom surface, a chamber, a top opening, and a bottom opening. The chamber is formed in the shell. The top opening is formed on the top surface of the shell and communicates with the chamber. The bottom opening is formed on the bottom surface of the shell and communicates with the chamber.

The pressing member is moveably disposed in the shell and faces the top opening of the shell. The containing device is disposed in the chamber of the shell and is located below the pressing member. The joining sleeve is disposed on the shell and extends through the bottom opening of the shell.

The brushing device is disposed on the joining sleeve, communicates with the chamber of the shell, and has a brushing head and a spray head. The brushing head is disposed on the joining sleeve and has a seat and multiple bristles. The seat is disposed on the joining sleeve and has a bottom surface, an inner-bottom surface, an assembly recess, and an inlet. The assembly recess is formed on the bottom surface of the seat. The inlet is formed on the inner-bottom surface of the seat and communicates with the assembly recess. The bristles are disposed into the assembly recess of the seat. The spray head is disposed on the seat of the brushing head, abuts against the containing device, and communicates with the inlet and the containing device.

The positioning sleeve is disposed on the joining sleeve and abuts against the seat of the brushing head. The bristles of the brushing head extend out of the positioning sleeve. The cap is disposed on the joining sleeve and covers the bristles of the brushing head and the positioning sleeve.

The containing device is filled with liquid fragrance, such as perfume or essence. In use, the cap can be detached by a user. The pressing member is pressed by the user, moves downwardly, and drives the containing device to draw the liquid fragrance. The liquid fragrance passes through the spray head and is sprayed into the inlet for moistening the bristles. The bristles can brush the skin of the user. The liquid fragrance on the bristles can be actually applied on the skin of the user. The liquid fragrance won't be sprayed into the air. Utilization efficiency of the liquid fragrance in the cosmetic container is increased. Waste of the liquid fragrance in the cosmetic container is decreased.

In addition, an amount of the liquid fragrance drawn from the containing device can be adjusted by controlling the shifting travel of the pressing member for satisfying the need of the user.
